One more personality test
I always love to take tests online. They are usually not much good for anything, but the results are often hilarious and/or flattering. This one’s no exception. It’s on the BBC site and is called, rather unimaginatively: “What Am I Like?” (yeah, I could hardly contain my excitement over it either).
Grace from Sandier Pastures posted it a while ago and I decided to give it a try myself. Imagine my delight when I found out that apparently I am a Mastermind. Huh. Who would’ve thought? LOL
The results are summarized as follows:
- Visionaries who put energy into achieving their goals
- Prefer to work independently and dislike inefficiency
- Think of themselves as logical, thorough, and bright
- Values practicality and common sense above ideas and theories
Hm, that’s more accurate than usual. I hate to admit it, but the whole thing seems to be pretty spot-on. Also, I read the characterizations of the other 15 personality types and none of them sounded quite like me, although predictably there were single aspects in almost any one of them that fit. But the Mastermind summary is the only one that fits to an astonishing degree. Me likey.
I especially liked the following parts:
- They have a rare gift for looking at almost anything and seeing how it can be improved.
- Masterminds value independence and prefer to work on their own.
- Masterminds often have an unusual sense of humour, which arises from their ability to spot surprising links between seemingly unconnected facts.
Yep, that’s me. So that’s why many people just don’t get my kind of humor.

More about Idealists
Idealists only share their inner values with people they respect.
Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future. They are typically easy-going and flexible, but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise.
In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress, Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.
Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.
